    Had a look at one of the Screenshots, and I liked it.

    It's better than it is now, version 3.5.3.

    I hope (or wish) that they can fix one of the nagging issues I Hate in Konqueror. It's when you move an icon atop another. A square flashes around the icon. I know, it's kinda crazy, but the gnome file manager doesn't do that & it gives me the impression that KDE's kinda plastic.

    A note: I tried out KDE 3.5 on my last Gentoo install. I come (or came) from the land of Gnome.

    The menu's another thing they can fix.

    I wouldn't mind seeing KDE 4 in action when it's released. I'm hoping it'll be good, or i'm going back to gnome.

    I can understand the argument for unifying sound backends. The reason phonon was conceived is because gstreamer just isn't mature enough, wasn't meeting the criteria for the framework they needed and still had a shifting API. There's no point in hard coding in an interface into the DE that's still subject to major changes.
    To be honest I get some of the same problems running gstreamer under Gnome that I got with aRts under KDE. In Ubuntu if I listen to audio file previews in nautilus, flash sound won't work in firefox until restarting the sound server. So that's can't really be considered as a replacement.
